The Tube Cracker Advantage – Total Water Column Control
The Redrum Baits Tube Cracker Jigs are designed for anglers who demand performance in challenging conditions— strong current, deep water, and structure-heavy environments where striped bass live.
Hand-poured and built for durability, this jig is made to get down fast, stay in the strike zone, and trigger aggressive bites.
Whether you're fishing the Chesapeake Bay or targeting stripers anywhere along the East Coast, or fishing the California or Baja coast, the Tube Cracker is built to produce.
Rapid Depth Control. Unpredictable Action. Total Water Column Coverage.
The RedRum Tube Cracker system is built for anglers who need to locate fish and deliver a reaction-bait presentation quickly.
Its streamlined profile allows the jig to descend rapidly through the water column, reaching suspended fish, deep structure and bottom-oriented predators with minimal delay.
When paired with a soft plastic tube bait, the Tube Cracker delivers an unpredictable combination of darting, snapping, gliding and falling movements that mimic the erratic behavior of injured or fleeing baitfish.
One presentation. Multiple techniques.
-
Vertical Jigging: Quickly reach fish holding deep or around structure.
-
Horizontal Retrieves: Work the bait like a jerkbait with sharp snaps, pauses and glides.
-
Suspended Fish: Target specific depths without having to work slowly through the entire water column.
-
Reaction Strikes: Create sudden changes in direction and speed to provoke predatory responses.
From shallow flats to deep channels, Tube Crackers give anglers the versatility to cover different depths and presentations efficiently.
